Whether you’re a Christian parent, youth leader, or educator who works with Generation Z, this book was written for you. As powerful ideas in our increasingly secular culture shape more of this generation, trusted leaders must share what they know about Jesus in ways that will reach them. But how? Backed by the latest research and first hand experience, this powerful book shows how to share biblical truth with a generation that desperately needs to hear it in a way that draws them in instead of pushing them away. Written by two youth influencers and experts on Generation Z, Sean McDowell, Ph.D., and J. Warner Wallace, So the Next Generation Will Know is an extraordinarily practical and relatable guide for anyone concerned with ensuring the next generation understands and embraces a biblical worldview.

Millennials have disrupted almost every major industry. Whether you’re a parent trying to raise them, a pastor trying to reach them, or an employer trying to retain them, they’re disruptive. As the largest living generation, millennials are one of the most studied but misunderstood groups of our day. And the chasm between the generations is only getting wider. Speaker and founder of the Initiative Network Grant Skeldon pulls back the confusing statistics about millennials to reveal the root issue: it’s not a millennial problem, it’s a discipleship problem. Millennials are known for their struggle to hold jobs, reluctance to live on their own, and alarming migration away from the church. And now our culture is feeling the results of a mentor-less, fatherless generation. But how do you start discipling young people when you struggle to connect with them? Written by a millennial, The Passion Generation will guide you beyond the stats of what millennials are doing to the why they’re doing it and how we can all move toward healthy community. With wit, compassion, and startling insights, this book shares stories and studies drawn from Skeldon’s years of working to bridge generational gaps. In his signature conversational style, Skeldon offers researched strategies that will spark healthy connections, and practical methods that will help you disciple the millennials you love. This book is your guide to understanding the millennials in your life who are seemingly reckless but far from hopeless, for the future of the church that depends on them.

The writing of this took place in the midst of joys and burdens, sickness, and excitement. It took place in the midst of urban flirting within churches; in places like Jamaica; Germany; Las Vegas; Lake Mead; Switzerland; France; our cabin in the Poconos, Pennsylvania; Churchville, Maryland; at our parents home in Lake Waccamaw, North Carolina, and Hallsboro, North Carolina; Hampton Ministers Conference in Hampton, Virginia; and along the seashores of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. But now it is yours and, prayerfully, to the glory of God, ready to give a blessing to the reader. Again, I am thankful for Mrs. McMillans patience and gentle encouragement, all of which I needed, for I am a man who spread on lots of words on a table and needed someone to sort them out and present them as I intended.

Move over Boomers, Xers, and Millennials; there's a new generation--making up more than 25 percent of the US population--that represents a seismic cultural shift. Born approximately between 1993 and 2012, Generation Z is the first truly post-Christian generation, and they are poised to challenge every church to rethink its role in light of a rapidly changing culture. From the award-winning author of The Rise of the Nones comes this enlightening introduction to the youngest generation. James Emery White explains who this generation is, how it came to be, and the impact it is likely to have on the nation and the faith. Then he reintroduces us to the ancient countercultural model of the early church, arguing that this is the model Christian leaders must adopt and adapt if we are to reach members of Generation Z with the gospel. He helps readers rethink evangelistic and apologetic methods, cultivate a culture of invitation, and communicate with this connected generation where they are. Pastors, ministry leaders, youth workers, and parents will find this an essential and hopeful resource.

The next generation church is not an optional aspect of church life, it is a vital necessity. Ministry with the next generation of disciples is vital for the health and sustainability of a local church. Ministry with children, youth and young adults supports these young people to grow in their relationships with God and others, to help them in discerning God’s purpose for their lives and to empower them to live like Christ in who they are and what they do. As the church seeks to navigate today’s challenges and opportunities, it must prioritize the spiritual growth, leadership development, and cultural engagement of the next generation. The next generation church must be flexible yet firm, innovative yet rooted in scripture, embracing the complexities of the modern world while providing a steadfast guide of faith. The next generation church creates spaces for spiritual growth along with cultivating and catalyzing new generations of enthusiastic disciples of Jesus Christ that connect, grow and lead in their congregations and communities to transform the world. Understanding and addressing the unique needs of younger generations, integrating technology thoughtfully, and nurturing principled leadership, churches can transcend traditional boundaries and encourage a vibrant, inclusive, and mission-driven community. This approach not only ensures the relevance of the church in today's world but also secures its vitality and impact for future generations. Embracing these changes is essential for any religious organization looking to thrive in the 21st century and beyond

There's a growing desire among believers to reach beyond the walls of their churches to impact communities for God. But when the average church size hovers around 150 members and the problems of even midsized cities seem insurmountable, how can we hope to make a difference? A New Kind of Big tells the inspiring story of how Perimeter Church in suburban Atlanta started a partnership called Unite! with other area churches in order to increase its reach in a community that desperately needed God's light and aid. This partnership has grown to a network of nearly 150 churches that are bringing kingdom transformation to Atlanta. For instance, on just one weekend in 2007, 6,000 volunteers from over 60 churches in metro Atlanta gathered to work on 250 service projects inside the ten-mile radius around Perimeter Church. Thirty welcome baskets were delivered to refugees, a dozen homes were repaired, a thousand Bibles were given away, 750 "encourage a teacher" gift bags were distributed. And that's not all: volunteers orchestrated 20 block parties in low-income apartment communities and 65 neighborhood food drives that collected 25,000 pounds of food. Chip Sweney shows Christian leaders how they too can discover the power of this "new kind of big" to pool their resources, energy, and time to minister to their communities, no matter how long or short their membership rolls.
